The department publishes earnings data for graduates across all subjects at Common Aggregated Hierarchy Level 2 (CAH2) subject level for one, three and five years after graduation in the Graduate Labour Market Outcomes (LEO) statistics.

The data can be found at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/graduate-labour-market-outcomes-leo/2023-24.

More granular subject breakdowns at CAH3 subject level are available under the 'Explore and download' tab. However, the department does not hold a list of defined 'AI-relevant courses'.

Employment outcomes data is available in the same publication for international EU and non-EU graduates. This data is also available under the 'Explore and download' data tab. However, there are no published statistics breaking down outcomes by both subject and domicile together.
